Mains

I loOoOve prep-ahead dishes that make my school weeks easy-peasy— and this lemony bean salad with #allthegreens makes me smile for just that reason! This salad serves as an example to answer “What can I meal prep for myself as a vegan, plant-eating person?”

This (gluten free) Roasted Greens and Beans Salad is funny because it reminds me of a bunch of parts that can get thrown together that end up working so well— and so seamlessly! Academically, I’ve always described myself as able to learn best in-context. It’s hard for me, personally, to imagine a situation working out before-hand— and for it to, then, actually happen!

At the risk of sounding silly, I have to say that this simple bowl of roasted veggies has been about the most complex meal I’ve been able to conjure in the last week or two… I just haven’t had the thyme! 😉

Have you all heard about TURMERIC yet?! Well, if you haven’t, you must’ve been living under a rock, because it’s only one of the trendiest and most lovely superfoods of them all.

To be completely honest, I’ve 100% overlooked Turmeric in my diet up until about a week ago. Here’s the situation: One of my best friends, Micah, was visiting town the other week and was RAVING about how she had been taking Turmeric every day and how it was keeping her from having nail problems.

You know when something sneaks up on you and then you realize it all and once and then you think to yourself “Oh my GOODNESS I have literally no time! Well, it just “hit me” a couple of days ago that my classes for this semester start on Monday! Monday. I’m not bothered by the fact that I have classes that are beginning (I’m quite excited, actually), it’s just that they seemed to come so soon! I don’t know where the time has gone, but this summer has slipped under my nose.

If you’ve been reading my posts for a while (or go back in the archives literally at all), you know I’m a fan of simple and easy things. Veggie burgers are a classic simple and easy thing when it comes to prepping for meals in my book.

I can throw them on a bun, in a bowl (my favorite), or honestly just munch on them plain. It’s so easy to make customized and delicious veggie burgers at home instead of buying the store bought ones, like these fun DIY Black Bean & Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers….

I know friends, I KNOW… vegan and barbecue don’t usually seem to go together too well. But I promise, veggies can (and will) give you ample motivation to fire up the grill (especially in the Summertime)!…

Sustainability!

If you read my post about the Basics of Surviving in College as a Vegan, you know that eating on campus is both inevitable and probably in your best interest sometimes. Here I’ve laid out a San Diego State University specific guide for myself and all my fellow Aztecs, so we can eat ~freely~ and…
